Hello all,

As someone who will be post-op soon, I figured rather than have it scattered over multiple threads, why don't we list all the various Protein drinks, waters, powders, etc that you've had and give your opinion on them.

I just recently tried Atkins Lift Lemon Flavored, and found it pretty good. I like my drink a little sweeter, so I added a little Crystal Lite Lemonade mix to it. Quiet refreshing! On a 1-5 scale 4.5.

So what Protein Drinks or waters, etc have you had?

I just tried ISOPURE Alpine Punch from a 1-5 i give it a 5 (taste like i was having fruit punch crystal lite it does have some carbs but it was really good.

I'm 4 days post-op and so far I've had premier Protein, chocolate flavor. While I don't mind this one at all, I have found others that I find much easier to get down. I have had a Coco Protein Drink (pina colada flavor) and that was pretty good (probably a 3-4 on a scale of 1-5) then I've had the Atkins Lift berry Flavor. This one I really like, so I'll give it a 5. I just bought the orange flavored Lift today, so I'll probably try that one tomorrow.

Then I met a couple who live down the road from me today and they brought over a few samples of the Syntrax nectar Protein powder. Haven't had time to try those yet, maybe tomorrow.

Good list so far. Let us know how it goes when you try the others.

I like the Isopure zero carb Iced Tea. Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel. Quest Salted Caramel protein powder, I mix this with a vanilla premier protein shake and a little extra water.

Adding Pb2 to the chocolate premiere protein drink was my favorite early on. Also sugar free coffee syrups. I used a pump of the raspberry with it as well for a chocolate raspberry drink. Variety is the key so you don't get burned out.

Adding PB2 to the chocolate premiere Protein drink was my favorite early on. Also sugar free coffee syrups. I used a pump of the raspberry with it as well for a chocolate raspberry drink. Variety is the key so you don't get burned out.

ooohhhhhh, never thought of adding stuff to the already made protein drinks. I have some PB2 that I haven't used yet. Definitely gonna try adding some to my chocolate Premier Protein drink. About how much PB2 did you add in?

I would put just a Tbs in @@Lovin2lose

PB2 both regular and chocolate I found to be good.

what is pb2? and does anyone know of any good vegan protein drinks?

PB2 is a Peanut Butter powder that you can usually get at the nut butter section of regular supermarkets. You can also try adding a tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder to the regular vanilla Protein powders. In my opinion, the Protein shakes are horrible when prepared with Water. When made with a non-fat milk, the difference is night and day. You can also try adding a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt and mixing it in to the shake

Vega One protein powder. You can snag it at Costco. I'm not a huge fan of vanilla (in general) so I either blend this with fruits/water or PB2.

I just made a protein shake in the blender: 1 scoop unjury vanilla protein, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 blueberries, splenda to taste, five ice cubes. Delish!

Made my Protein packed sugar-free Jello this morning in prep for my pre-op diet start tomorrow.

I like the unjury chocolate splendor made with fairlife milk.

I like it with espresso powder added, or PB powder added or half a banana.

I also like the unjury vanilla with coffee added - or with half a peach or some frozen cherries added.

and I used the unjury unflavored in things like no sugar applesauce to give a Protein boost in the early days.

I am 13 days post-op and typically need 2 Protein shakes a day to make sure I get the protein needed daily.

Typically, in the morning I use the Ninja to mix 2 scoops of vanilla bean nectar, 2 pouches of Carnation Breakfast Essentials "Light Start" and 2 cups of skim milk. Transfer over to a 32 oz. Yeti Rambler (although the whole thing doesn't fill it up, at least it keeps cold) and while I am at work, have half the shake through the morning and half through the afternoon.

Sipping on Water through the day of course.
